UNITED STATES HARRY H. BARTEVIAN, OF LEBANON, PENNSYLVANIA.

SMOKING PIPE.

Application ild March 27, 1922. Serial No. 547,288.

T o all whom t may concern Be it known that I, HARRY H. BARTEVIAN, a citizen of the United States, residing ai'. Lebanon, in the county of Lebanon andbtate of Pennsylvania have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Smoking Pipes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to tobacco users appliances, and the primary object of the invention is the provisionlof a novel smoking pipe which is so constructed that a. cool clean smoke can be had at all times, and which will effectively prevent the tobacco in the bowl of the pipe from becoming damp or soaked with moisture. v

Another object of the invention is the provision of a novel pipe embodying a detachable bowl, a stem, and a casing carried by the stem for the reception of fibrous material, such as raw cotton, the upper end of the casing being adapted to receive the bowl of the pipe. l

A further object of the invention is the provision of a depending draft pipe or tube carried by the lower end of the pipe bowl which is adapted to extend into the lower end of the casing utilized for receiving the packing of raw cotton or the like, the draft pipe or tube effectively forming means for preventing theentrance of moisture into the pipe bowl.

A further object of the invention is the provision ofnieans for preventing the packing of tobacco about the smoke outletV in the bowl so that the smoke outlet lwill be effectively prevented from being clogged by the said tobacco.

A still further object' ofthe invention is the provision of a pivoted cover for the pipe bowl to prevent the blowing out of the tobacco therefrom during windy days and the like, the cover having novel means for the reception -of a cigar or cigarette, so that a cigar or cigarette can be smoked in the pipe in lieu of loose tobacco.

A still further object of the invention is to provide an improved pipe of the above character, which will be durable and eilicient in use, one that will be simple and easy 4to manufacture, and one which can be placed upon the market at a reasonable cost.

With these and other objects in view, the

invention consists in the novel construction,

arrangement and formation of parts, as will be hereinafter more specifically described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specication, in which drawings:

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional View through the improved pipe constructed in accordance with this invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the improved pipe.

Figure 3 is a detail horizontal section through the pipe bowly taken on the line 3-3 of Figure l.

Figure 4 is a detail horizontal section through the casing portion of the pipe taken von the line 4 4 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout thev several views, the letter A generally indicates the improved pipe, which includes the stem B, i

.suitable or applicable for the purpose intended.

The casing D is of a cylindrical configuration and depends from the vforwardnend of the stem B and as shown the bore l5 of the stem communicates with the upper end of the casing. i l

The mouth. piece or bit C ljcan be formed of any desired material and detachably connected with the stem B in any way whatsoever. The outer endof stem B is shown reinforced by suitable ferrule 6.

The upper end of the casing D is provided with interior threads 7, for a purpose which will hereinafter more fully appear. The lower end4 of the casing D is closed by a curvedbottom wall 8'.

The pipe bowl E can be formed of any desired material, preferably of hard wood, such as briar or the like and the lowerend of the bowl is providedwith a boss or stem 9 which can be provided with exterior threads for engaging the threaded portion 'i' of the'casinrr D. The depending boss or stem 9 of the `bowl E is'provided with an axial bore 10, which is internally threaded for the reception of the depending draft pipe or tube 11. This draft pipe or tube 11 is adapted to extend into the easing D and terminates adjacent to the lower end thereof. The casing D can have packed therein suitable fibrous material, such as raw cotton 12., It is obvious that the smoke will have to iow from the bowl E through the draft pipe or tube 11 into the casing D and around or through the raw cotton 12 and then into the bore 5 of the stem B and into the mouth piece C. During the travel of the smoke, the same will of course become cooled and the smoke flowing through the raw cotton 12 will have all of the impurities removed therefrom such as nicotine; coal tar and the like. v

In order to prevent the tobacco placed in the bowl E from stopping up the draft pipe or tube 11,;a flat disc 15 is placed in the bowl E adjacent to the lower end thereof as clearly shown'in Figure l of the drawings, and this disc can be provided adjacent to its periphery with smoke out-lets 16. Any moisture seeping down the bore 5 of the stem B will, of course, be absorbed by the cotton 12, and thus the tobacco in the bowl E will be always maintained in a clean and dry condition.

The open end of the bowl E may be closed by a cover 25 if so desired, and as shown this cover is of disc formation and is hingedly secured at one end as at 26 to a retaining ring 27, which can be secured in any preferred manner .to the upper end of ,the bowl E. The cover 25 at a point diametrically opposite theI hinged point 26 may be provided with a resilient tongue 28 for frictionally engaging the retaining ring 27, for preventing accidental swinging movement of the cover. The cover 25 is provided with a holder 30 for the reception of a cigar or cigarette and this holder communicates with the interior of the bowl E through an axial recess 31 formed in the cover 25.

When the user of the pipe desires to smoke a cigar or cigarette therein, instead of loose tobacco` it is to be understood that the same, that is, the cigar' or cigarette is placed in the holder 30, and it is apparent that the smoke will be drawn down through the bowl ll, through the draft pipe or tube 11, and into the casing D whereby the samewill perco late through the raw cotton 12 and thence into the stem 5 as through the hit C.

When the raw cotton 12 becomes saturated with moisture, it is merely necessary to remove the bowl E from the casing D and pull out the raw cotton and place a new piece therein.

If desired, a suitable gasket, such as asbestos or the like 32 can be placed around the cover 25 for engagement with the ring 32 so as to form an airtight joint therewith and thereby permit the ready smoking of the cigar or cigarette with the pipe.

If desirable, the raw cotton 12 can be dampened, so as to insure the removing of all foreign or deleterious substances from the smoke, and ifthe user of the pipe so desired, the cotton may be impregnated with perfume, essence of peppermint or the like, so that the odor of tobacco will not be apparent on the breath of the user.

f From the foregoing description, it can be seen that a novel and simple pipe has been provided, which will give a sweet and clean smoke and prevent clogging of the tobacco around the bore of the pipe bowl.

Changes in details may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention; but, r

l claim:

1. Asmoking pipe comprising a stem, a casing, carried by said stem and arranged to extend below the stem, the upper end of the casing being threaded, a tobacco receiving bowl having its lower end provided with a depending threaded boss adapted to engage the threads of said casing, the boss having an axial bore, a depending draft tube removably fitting within the axial bore and arranged to extend into the casing to a point adjacent the lower end thereof, absorbent material disposed about the sides and lower end of said tube and filling the casing beneath and about the tube and compressed in the casing by said boss, and means for preventing tobacco placed in the bowl from falling into the draft tube.

2. A smoking pipe comprising a stem, formed of vitreous material, a casing formed on one end of the stem and constructed of vitreous material and arranged to extend below the stem, a mouth piece carried by the outer end of the stem, the upper end of the casing being provided with an internally threaded socket, a tobacco receiving bowl having an exteriorly threaded boss formed on the lower end thereof arranged to fit in the socket formed in the easing, the boss having an axial bore, a depending draft tube fitted within the axial bore and arranged to extend into the casing adjacent to the lower end thereof, raw cotton disposed about the tube and arranged in said casing, and means for preventing tobacco placed in the bowl from falling into the draft tube.
